Most works are most beautiful without ornament.
Walt Whitman

To speak in literature with the perfect rectitude and insouciance of the movements of animals and the unimpeachable of the sentiment of trees in the woods and grass by the roadside is the flawless triumph of art.
Walt Whitman
Image
Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
Walt Whitman

The mother condemned for a witch and burnt with dry wood, and her children gazing on The hounded slave that flags in the race and leans by the fence, blowing and covered with sweat, The twinges that sting like needles his legs and neck, The murderous buckshot and the bullets, All these I feel or am.
Walt Whitman

More and more too, the old name absorbs into me. Mannahatta, 'the place encircled by many swift tides and sparkling waters.' How fit a name for America's great democratic island city! The word itself, how beautiful! how aboriginal! how it seems to rise with tall spires, glistening in sunshine, with such New World atmosphere, vista and action!
Walt Whitman
Image
Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
The President eats dirt and excrement for his daily meals, likes it and tries to force it on The States.
Walt Whitman
Image
storming, enjoying, planning, loving, cautioning, Backing and filling, appearing and disappearing, I tread day and night such roads.
Walt Whitman
Image
Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good steadily hastening towards immortality, And the vast all that is called Evil I saw hastening to merge itself and become lost and dead.
Walt Whitman
Image
I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-wash'd babe, and am not contained between my hat and my boots.
Walt Whitman
Image
Thunder on! Stride on! Democracy. Strike with vengeful stroke!
Walt Whitman
Image
I dote on myself. There is a lot of me and all so luscious.
Walt Whitman
Image
Day by day and night by night we were together - all else has long been forgotten by me.
Walt Whitman
Image
O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you, Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.
